Sited on the shore of Lake Washington’s Juanita Bay, this stately manor house recalls the character and detailing of the English Arts and Crafts style. The home faces southward on a deep, narrow lot and is accessed down a long driveway leading to a circular motor court. Off the motor court is a detached 3-car garage with accessory dwelling unit above, much like an English carriage house, which is connected to the main house by a long wood arbor. The exterior of the home is simple in its massing and use of materials, utilizing true stucco which is applied in a rough “cottage” finish. Interior spaces are laid out on two floors, in an elongated U-shaped plan. The main rooms focus towards the lakefront, while others are clustered around the main hallway which opens onto an herb garden courtyard to the West. Room designs and materials are composed with a sense of coziness in mind, with extensive use of stained wood paneling, stair railings and coffered ceilings.
